With these questions, we can find the answers in Chapter 6.
Question 1: What are the precautions before reading a book?
The first point is easy to understand, that is, focus on the theme of the book, and don't elaborate too much on the content irrelevant to the theme of the book. For example, if the book you want to talk about is Becoming a Writer, you should explain how to become a writer one by one around the theme of the book, instead of deviating from introducing specific writing skills, such as how to write a good title, which is not the main purpose of the book. In other words, its meaning is similar to the digression of the article.
Second, storytelling is a process of secondary creation, that is, to relay the knowledge in books with your own words, rather than simply learning and summarizing. After all, some concepts are difficult to understand and need to be relayed to the audience in combination with their own understanding.
Question 2: What should we pay attention to when telling books?
Question 3: How to organize a book exhibition?
First of all, the most critical step is to establish a mind map, which the author compares to a ramp. The author shared some principles and methods about building ramps.
1. You can start with the most touching point in the book. For example, the book "Mastering Conversation" mentioned in the book can start with why this book touched me, and then answer this question step by step according to the content in the book.
2. Catch the reader's attention from the beginning. For example, go straight to the point, or put the most valuable content at the beginning. It can also be done on behalf of the audience.
3. Ramps can be found in books or replaced by life scenes. If you encounter something hard to find, you can create some bright spots to attract the attention of the audience.
Second, after the ramp is built, it is necessary to select important chapters and state the overall structure. For example, look at the text, what data or cases are used for each argument, and so on. Valuable materials should be put at the forefront, and similar contents should be summarized and merged. For the ending, we should sublimate the value of the whole book. In fact, it is the same as writing an article.
At the same time, in the author's opinion, try not to write a manuscript when telling a book. After reading a book, write down the mind map directly, then build a ramp and extend it step by step until the end. It may be difficult to tell a book for the first time, but you should also consciously practice without writing. After all, reading according to the manuscript and telling the book directly by yourself are completely different effects for the audience.
